CHAPTER Chapter 3: European Union Member States France There is a strong interest in French culture in Russia, both for its heritage and for contemporary work. The substantial sales of works in translation by French writers and philosophers demonstrate this, as does the success of French cinema, with the third highest box office takings in Russia and audiences of 2.5 million per year. One cannot imagine a theatre or ballet festival without a significant contribution by French artists. Popular French variétés music artists sell in good number and French classical music is gaining increasing attention. Two major events confirmed this trend in 2006. Firstly, the Impressionism retrospective at the State Tretyakov Gallery exhibited 55 works and drew 230,000 visitors. Secondly, France was the Guest of Honour at the Moscow International Book Fair. Only the latter event required public and private financing from France. On the whole, cultural exchange is carried out under the aegis of the embassy or French cultural centres in Russia. The total budget allocated to cultural activities supported by the French state in Russia is some 800,000 €. The overall fi nancial turnover of the exchanges is at least three times higher. This is partly because of the market for cultural products (fi lms and popular music in particular) and partly due to the substantial fi nancial support given to certain French initiatives by Russian private sponsors. This support is often higher than the already signifi cant level of support from French businesses in Russia. WHAT LEGISLATION APPLIES TO THE IMPORT/EXPORT OF CULTURAL GOODS BETWEEN FRANCE AND RUSSIA? NATIONAL Law No 92-1477 of 31 December 1992 on goods subject to movement restrictions and the complementary responsibilities of the police, gendarmerie and customs, as amended by Law No 94-679, Law No 2000-643 on the protection of national treasures, Law No 2002-5 and Order No 2004-178 Decree No 93-124 of 29 January 1993 on cultural goods subject to movement restrictions, as amended by Decree No 95-24, Decree No 97-286, Decree No 20001-894 and Decree No 2004-709 INTERNATIONAL European Community legislation is applicable as explained in Chapter 2 UNESCO Convention of 1970 (France ratifi ed in 1997) 92
France In 1995, France signed the UNIDROIT Convention of 1995 but it has not yet ratified it. Who is responsible for implementing these regulations? The Ministry of Culture and Communication, through its directorates, is responsible for the implementation of the law. DMF – Directorate of Museums in France (Direction des Musées de France) is responsible for overall management, through the Collections Department (Département des Collections). Under this department, the Office for the Movement of Works and Inventory (Bureau du mouvement des oeuvres et de l’inventaire) undertakes the work in this area. Three other Directorates are involved in the export authorisation decisions for specific categories of cultural goods: the DAF – Directorate of Archives (Direction des Archives de France), the DLL – Directorate of Books and Reading (Direction du Livre et de la Lecture) and the DAPA – Directorate of Architecture and Heritage (Direction de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine). Their work, as far as export of cultural goods is concerned, is coordinated by the DMF. The Offi ce for the Movement of Works and Inventory (the Bureau) operates in two fi elds: • The movement of collections belonging to the national museums • Export control of national heritage Michel Houellebecq at a book-signing in one of the main Moscow bookshops in spring 2006. Several works by the award-winning French writer have been translated into Russian. Houellebecq’s novels are extremely popular in Russia with editions of 100,000 copies. In terms of export controls, the Bureau receives all requests for certificates for cultural goods which are dependent on the competence of French museums, according to the national legislation (Law No 92-1477). The Bureau also acts as the Secretariat for the Consultative Commission on National Treasures, a body that gives opinions on 93
